A plucky teenager has been given a police commendation for tackling a 6ft 1in burglar.

Kendrick schoolgirl Natasha Hall, 16, found the man in the bedroom of her Earley home at lunchtime on July 20.

Instead of running and screaming, brave Natasha challenged him, demanding he empty his pockets and leave – and would not take no for an answer. Consequently Natasha saved her mum’s jewellery, mobile phones and other valuables.

Now Natasha's bravery has been recognised by Thames Valley Police who have given her a Chief Constable's commendation.

At the award ceremony Supt Stuart Greenfield said: "Natasha showed great bravery and I’m sure she made her family very proud. I wonder how many other people in the same situation would have done the same thing.”
